Driven by Stellagosa's elegant and efficient ice magic, the two walked through the long corridor almost unhindered.

Every time she waved her slender hand, it brought with it a biting cold wave. The pale skeleton guarding the platform at the end of the corridor had just risen from the pile of bones with a twisted shape when it quickly froze and cracked under the invasion of absolute zero. It eventually turned into ice crystal fragments that flashed with dirty purple light and dissipated into the air.

The two did not dare to delay and immediately walked towards the third barrier stone in the center of the platform that was emitting an ominous light.

However, just as they approached and were about to coordinate their magic power like the previous two times—

"Roar--!!!"

A bear roar as if coming from the abyss suddenly exploded!

It was impossible to tell the specific direction from which the sound came. It was more like it burst out directly from the cracks in space, making their eardrums numb and their minds uneasy!

Then, less than ten steps behind Stellagosa, the air twisted violently like water waves, and a huge war bear appeared out of thin air, its fur rotten and even some of its bones exposed!

It appeared without any warning, and launched a violent charge the moment it appeared, carrying with it a foul-smelling wind, like a chariot out of control, crashing straight into Stella who had her back to it!

"careful!"

Alvin's exclamation and Stella's instinctive reaction were almost synchronized!

Just as the rotten bear paw was about to hit her back, Stella's body was surrounded by blue and yellow lights at the same time.

The yellow light was the Power Word Shield that Alvin wore, and as the blue light flashed, Stella had disappeared from the spot.

Flash!

The next moment, the blue dragon girl appeared twenty feet away, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

Stella was still in shock and turned around immediately. In her hands, she had already gathered enough icy energy to freeze the soul, ready to completely freeze the monster that had attacked her.

However, just as she locked onto her target and was about to cast the spell—

The rotten war bear launched a fierce charge, just as strange as when it appeared. Its huge body twisted again, and then disappeared without a trace!

It was as if the thunderous charge and deafening roar just now were just a realistic illusion.

All that remained on the platform was the airflow caused by its charge and the faint stench of decay lingering in the air.

"what happened?!"

Stella maintained her casting posture, looking around vigilantly, her blue eyes filled with panic.

"Alvin, did you see that? That bear...that's a bear, right?! Where did it go?"

Alvin also held his staff tightly, his brows furrowed. Having witnessed everything with his own eyes, he also felt unbelievable.

"I see it clearly,"

He said in a deep voice, his sharp eyes scanning every corner where the creature might be hiding.

"It's just a strange-looking bear! As if corrupted by some force, it suddenly appears from the open space behind you, charges at you, and then disappears in an instant after you dodge. It's like... like it never existed."

Stella hurried to Alvin's side. The two stood back to back, highly alert, wary of the strange war bear's reappearance. However, the platform was completely silent. Aside from the faint humming of the barrier stone, there was no other sound.

In this suffocating silence——

"Whoosh-!"

A sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out!

A blurry black shadow came from a completely different direction at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye!

"Back off!"

Alvin reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Stella's arm, and they both retreated quickly to the side and rear at the same time!

He had heard this sound a lot recently. It was obviously the sound of elves shooting arrows!

"Tuk!"

With a dull thud, a sharp arrow with an ancient shape was accurately nailed to the place where they had just stood. The tail feathers were still trembling slightly, and the arrowhead stuck in the ground was still flashing with cold light.

However, like the bear, the arrow only existed for less than two seconds before it was erased by an eraser, quickly becoming transparent and then completely disappearing, leaving no trace of it being inserted into the ground.

“What…what the hell is going on?!”

Stella's voice began to tremble. This completely incomprehensible phenomenon made her feel unprecedented pressure. "I've never heard of anything like this! Whether it's a bear or an arrow, how could they appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air? This goes against all magical common sense and the laws of physics!"

Alvin's face was solemn. He stared at the place where the arrow disappeared, and some fragmented memories and knowledge flashed through his mind.

"Stella,"

He spoke slowly,

"What if these things don't exist in our world at all?"

"you!"

Stella looked at him angrily.

"Why are you trying to scare me again?!"

"No, I'm not trying to scare you."

Alvin shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the empty space ahead, his voice low,

"I'm serious. Perhaps these enemies we face are themselves from another dimension, another phase. They can briefly penetrate our reality, launch an attack, and then quickly escape and return to their own space. Therefore, we see this strange cycle of appearing, attacking, and disappearing again."

As if to confirm Alvin's speculation, before he finished speaking, the terrifying bear roar echoed again from another direction! The figure of the rotting war bear reappeared with ripples in space, and almost at the same time, another sharp arrow shot silently from a completely opposite angle!

This time, the bear and the arrow formed a perfect coordination!

The war bear's charge forced them to move, while the sharp arrows blocked their space for dodging. Alvin and Stella had no choice but to roll and dodge towards the only safe area.

Stella quickly stood up while rolling, and the ice-blue energy in her hands condensed again. She angrily tried to lock onto the war bear that appeared again, wanting to freeze it.

However, just as her spell was taking shape, the war bear twisted again in front of her eyes, and disappeared in an instant with a mocking low roar!

The few ice arrows she was about to shoot towards the source of the arrows hit nothing because the target completely disappeared, leaving only a few pieces of frost on the wall.

"Ahhhhhh! Damn it! Where the hell are these things?! Where do I even hit them?!"

Stella stood there, clutching her staff tightly, stamping her feet angrily, her blue eyes filled with anxiety.

The enemies are like ghosts, coming and going without a trace and coordinating seamlessly.

The two of them had powerful magic powers, but they didn't know where to release them.
